It is only golden if you buy it at gamestop in the states and I think I heard EB games overseas everywhere else it is just the dragon fire cannon. It is an interesting store promotion.

edit: I think I've mentioned this before it is why stores outside of the exclusive offer have been indicating the presence of battlepacks on launch day and this is the only one that has been announced.


No it is gold from Oz EB Games (same company as GameStop). I would presume that the battle pack will be available from other vendors but the gold variant is an exclusive.


I just hope the golden one doesn't have any in-game difference from the regular one. :/

This is what I meant gold dragon fire cannon at gamestop and EB games as an exclusive variant and the regular dragon fire cannon at every other retailer.

Since we know Amazon (US) has a gold variant flameslinger it may be that all the retailers are getting gold exclusives this time around

The golden flameslinger hs been verified to be a regular version in game (at least on cloud patrol)

I will not likely buy both so I am hoping it is not treated differently in game (dragon fire cannon)

Fungus is a pretty standard word for mushrooms, however this is where the char title should be...

Yes, I know that, but I meant maybe they localised Shroomboom to Fungus for Spanish audiences. But, yes, then I realised that the name on the packaging is still Shroomboom. Maybe Fungus was just a prototype name and this whole packaging is from an early version? Especially with the S1 Whirlwind figure and card.

Walmart isn't the site I saw it on, but I was meaning to put this in the other thread about preorders. With Walmart's Wii U bundle thing, you can add Skylanders Giants (wii U version obviously) to the pack, which adds an extra $15 to it.

Now, the actual page listing for Wii-U Giants says 12/31/12 which I assumed was just the "you have to put a date in to list it" thing. And it probably is.

But apparently Wii U Giants isn't a Day 1 release with the Wii U, so..ehhh.

It is not a rumor. If you watch videos from the Nintendo event, showing Giants, the Activision rep stated it would ship in November.

Also, though I won't be buying them I still hope they change the titles; the one posted at least is kinda stupid.

I have a copy of The Machine of Doom novel, I liked it.

They didn't change the Machine of Doom title before they officially revealed the novel. It's a kids franchise, we might as well expect the titles to not be epic, mature sounding but more childish.

It's a prequel to SSA.

"When word reaches the Skylanders of a giant, ancient and deadly weapon, Spyro, Gill Grunt, Boomer and Eruptor set out to find it before the evil Kaos can get there first. Can Master Eon's group of heroes use their Elemental powers to save Skylands from The Machine of Doom?"

^Yeah that was the old cover art that they still use.

In the novel, they show great detail on the characters, including Spyro in particular.

EDIT:

I contacted Cavan Scott, the author of the book, and he said that there is no change in the character line-up in Spyro versus The Mega Monsters. Apparently, the picture I posted is an early American cover of the book.

But if you get it on the original Wii it'll still look fine. Giants IS coming out on original Wii right?! Also I was reffering to the animations not the graphics; I REALLY hope they did away with the cop-out repetitive motions during in game talking cutscenes and I especially hope they make thee Kaos cutscenes flow better. Anyone else remember how the motions of his head just changed at random from one thing to the next? Ugh... It'd be nice if they made the effort to make character's mouths match thier words too.

I expect them to use the same graphics engines as the first game since one, the Wii U graphics look about the same as the original on Wii, and two, it's Activision! smilie

So what's up with the Cannon variant? Looking behind it, the art is also silver which makes me suspect it may be a localisation difference... (IMO, I like it better in that color!)
And Series One Whirlwind? Yeah no, the slip is green, it has Series Two, has Series Two art, it's probably Series Two.

^It's actually an old version of the Spyro versus the Mega Monsters (confirmed by Cavan Scott himself), not the updated version or anything.

But the book title remains the same, can't expect some book titles in Skylanders to be mature sounding.

Here is the current version of the book cover Cavan posted on his blog:

No, it was confirmed to be released in the launch window - which would be November or December. Personally, I think Activision will want to get it released ASPA in time for Christmas - so a November release seems more likely than December.


Nope,the launch window is from november until march 2013!

The Series 2 images contains different features on the Skylanders than the Series 1 versions.

Spyro has red wooden armor on his wings in his Series 2 look, but what would he look like in the story of The Mega Monsters itself? Will he have the red wings of his Series look? Or will he not?

By the way, new wallpaper!
